Muchly appreciated chaps . Ian yes I did paint the parts first, but I used hull red for the insides. Then I found a decent picture showing Dunkelgelb, so I airbrushed around everything . Not much today, just a little colour and a dry fit of the upper and lower body parts and I had to check how the dudes fitted. They fit... perfectly till now . Oh yes, the grills are from the Eduard etch set for this kit, there's loads of etch in there but I won't be using much more of it Why did I paint that engine compartment ?

I’m sure they add all that etch just for the sake of it. I’ve never used all the etch in a set
Lovely clean building

Ian, Tommy, thank you muckers . Ian you are absolutely correct about the etch, there is loads there that I will not use. But, there is still some useful stuff for the outside that might go on . Here's this evenings fiddlings. Added some dirt for under the floorboards (still wet from the glue, that's why it's so dark), blocked in the seat cusions, painted the dash board

I'm sorry but I have to do this. I would never forgive myself if I didn't. This build is going along Schwimmingly. Don't worry,I'm off to the step.
